Greater than one weekIt doesn’t hold up to wind well and flips inside out easily. Luckily it doesn’t break when it flips inside out. It’s also not the most waterproof… anything more than a drizzle soaks the fabric pretty quickly. If you live somewhere it doesn’t train much this umbrella is probably fine but I’m in Portland so it’s not great. :/

> 3 dayIve owned many folding umbrellas in my long life of 45 years, but this is the best one. The quality of materials and the new concept of its design is unmatched. The way it opens and closes with the push of the same button, using the power from the spring in the bottom shaft is quite clever. Also the strength of its ribs should make it very wind resistant.

Greater than one weekEver since I had 3 umbrellas break on me in one day due to strong winds, Ive been looking out for good windproof umbrellas. One of my favorites is the Senz umbrella - it has an unusual shape that attracts attention whenever Im using it. But it doesnt collapse, is not automatic, and I usually just keep it in the car. For automatic umbrellas, I really like these automatic open / close types. A push of a button will open it up, and a push of the same button will collapse the canopy - youll still need to retract the shaft manually before the button will open it up again. There are multiple umbrellas like this, but there are some minor differences: 1. When folded, is the top part of the umbrella outside or inside? Outside means its easier to dry it, inside means it is less messy as it wont drip if you hold it correctly. This one has the wet part inside. 2. Does the spring loaded shaft need to be pressed in completely in one operation? There are some umbrellas designed such that the shaft will not spring out forcefully if you didnt retract it all the way till it clicks. This one does not do that. 3. Wind vent - this one has a two layer canopy to allow wind blowing from under the canopy to vent through instead of adding additional stress to the frame (especially the ribs). I can only test the wind vent by forcefully pulling the open umbrella towards me - there has not been any day with strong winds since I got the umbrella. But by doing the test with this and other umbrellas, I can clearly see that there is significantly less flex on the ribs compared to other umbrellas. What I also like about this umbrella is that the handle is large. I have another umbrella that is slightly shorter when collapsed, but they achieve this by making the handle uncomfortably small, making it uncomfortable to grip. This one has a grip that is almost an inch longer and it is much more comfortable to hold. One thing I didnt quite like about this is that it doesnt seem as easy to fold - it takes more time to arrange the pleats so that they would roll up neatly. Im not sure why this is so. Overall, a great umbrella, not perfect, but fairly close. I have some slo mo footage of it opening and closing. Doesnt really add much to the review, but quite fun to watch. Ill post it once I get it edited.

> 3 dayThis umbrella is worth the cost. I really like the auto up down button on the handle! The separate wind canopy should be very helpful in windy conditions to prevent the umbrella from flipping inside out. The zippered umbrella sleeve is a nice addition to protect the umbrella for when not in use. The close upward feature truly is helpful when getting in a vehicle in a downpour. Just use care to keep the umbrella upright until you place it in a footwear downward to drip! I would have appreciated a choice of colors or prints rather than only black.
